Presidential Candidates’ Fund-raising Totals Due Tonight

After a long wait, we’ll learn tonight how much the presidential candidates raised and spent in the last three months of 2007 — and who gave them the money. Year-end reports are due to the Federal Election Commission by midnight. The Center for Responsive Politics will download the data overnight and begin the labor-intensive effort to categorize donors by geography and industry.

Updates to OpenSecrets.org will begin Friday morning and continue through Monday, all with the goal of having updated data in voters’ hands by Super Duper Tuesday. And check the Capital Eye blog from Friday through the weekend for observations on the candidates’ finances. Today is also the last day of fund-raising in January. Campaign finance reports for this month are due Feb. 20.
